JoeMercer'sWay said:I hope the clips of John Boyega in the trailers are unfortunately chosen, as they're putting me off, pretty much every shot has him looking like a lost, little boy and looking at the cast list, it's a little weak imo.
I hope the story is strong, I've always been one of those fans who was only interested in Skywalker/Vader/Yoda, all the noise around the edges, and all the different bizarre looking aliens, don't appeal to me, but that's probably because once you've seen Alien, every other alien form you see is a bit naff. The silly bug-eyed ones in Star Wars just annoy me.
This is a purposeful action.
The original Star Wars had a very inexperienced cast aswell outside of Obi-Wan and Peter Cushing who were relatively small roles, and they didn't want "named actors" as they would be overshadowed by the new cast and the original trilogy lot coming back. This was one of the big things the prequels got wrong imo.
